    Ice has closed the South Island's State Highway 8 between Fairlie and Twizel

    Ice has closed the South Island's State Highway 8 between Fairlie and Twizel


    NZTA says although snow fell overnight, ice is the biggest issue.

    Other South Island state highways remain open, but motorists are urged to travel with caution through alpine passes and higher elevation highways.
